Tinder Is About to Get a Lot Sketchier

Today, Tinder is adding a new feature that CEO Sean Rad says will help the app further its goal of getting people to make connections—beyond just lurve connections. Dubbed "Moments," the update adds an Instagram-esque photostream to your profile, so your potential new friends/lovers/sext buddies can get to know you that much better through pics of your daily life.

According to TechCrunch, the new feature will let you take a photo using the app, which will then be shared with all of your matches. The recipients can swipe through all of the photos, "like" whichever ones they, you know, like, and then theoretically start chatting you up about them.

But the catch (there's always a catch!): one part of the feature is distinctly Snapchat-ish. Perhaps to add an extra air of romance to the whole thing, Tinder has made these fleeting moments: Each photo will disappear after 24 hours, and matches won't be able to see the pic after one day. "We wanted to make it less daunting for people to share these moments, and the ephemeral nature of these photos allows for that," Rad told TechCrunch. The site also notes that users can opt out of seeing matches' "moments," and as an added bonus, you'll be able to edit the images—draw on photos, adding filters, etc.—before sharing them.

In other words, get ready for a lot of moodily-lit smiley face dick pic "moments" to invade your Tinderverse.
